An abandoned Egyptian goddess follows her visions to Ireland, and finds more than she ever bargained for…
Bat Sitru used to be a goddess. Well, technically she still is. But with no followers, no temples, and only the overly mischievous cat-goddess Bastet as a friend, it’s difficult to lay claim to the title.
When her visions—once faded—return to her, they point to a land in the north, one of green slopes, mist, and rainbows. She is shown a hope for comfort and home, something that has long been missing from her existence.
Once there, she begins to wonder if her visions have led her wrong. She’s cold, damp, and her new landlords, the O’Loinsigh brothers, are not particularly welcoming. On top of that, she is confronted by a dead leprechaun on the rear stoop, a dagger that sucks the life of immortals, and territorial gods.
As past secrets collides with the present, will Bat be able to carve a place for herself in this new land? Or will this goddess be forgotten once more?
Please note: A previous, and shorter, version of this story was released in the anthology Shamrocked. This is also a slow-burn RH.

A storm is brewing, and this goddess does not like the damp…
Bat Sitru, an Egyptian goddess, is content in her new life in Sligo, Ireland. She tends the bar, participates in all the sing-songs she cares to, and is making new friends. The only thing she could wish to change is her relationship with the O’Loinsigh brothers—they’ve grown distant, and she’s afraid to upset the careful balance the four of them have found.
Before she can figure out what to do about that distance, an invitation arrives from the head of the O’Loinsigh family, leading to the revelation of long-held secrets and her visions come to life once more. What she will need to face this time is nothing so simple as a mad woman out for revenge—old legends are stirring as an ancient evil seeks to return.
Along with Dub, Mell, Shar, the reluctant Finn, and a host of other outcasts, Bat will confront a growing conspiracy of fae, gods, Fomoiri, and an evil long locked away. All she wants is to enjoy her strawberries and tea, and maybe a kiss or two, but sometimes a goddess has to do…
Well, a goddess has to do what a goddess has to do.

Bat Sitru and her merry band of fae are officially on the run…
Or are they on the hunt? It’s hard to tell. Separated from Dub and Shar, Bat can only concentrate on getting through the next steps of their piece-meal plan to defeat Balor. They have all the tools to defeat the would-be god, now they just have to pull it all together.
With new and unexpected allies, as well as a horde of sluagh on their heels, Bat and her boys race to find Tir Hudi and the cauldron before their enemies know they’re there.
In the end, it will be up to her, that forgotten goddess, to restore the balance and prevent the world from descending into chaos…
Note: Yes, for those who have not read the first two books yet, this is a “why choose” type romance.
About Cecilia:
Cecilia Randell was born in Austin, Texas and grew up in a home with her very own Cheerful Bulldozer. After some brief adventures in various places such as California and Florida, she returned to her hometown and took up a career in drafting. A lifetime lover of words and stories, the transition to writing was two-fold: a comment from a relative and a short line from another author, saying to write what you want to read.
And thus the new adventure was born.
Now she can be found most days curled up in a comfy chair and creating new tales to share with others.

I quickly have to thank Rockstar Book Tours for allowing me to be a part of this tour and graciously providing me with copies to read and review for my tour stop today.
For some reason, I was in the mood for something completely different from what I normally read and this was the perfect thing as it seemed to get me out of the little reading slump I have been in this past month since getting sick.
One of the things I love when starting a new book or series especially when I have never read any of the author’s previous works is starting with a bang and that you need to continue reading it and this did it for me. I think I read this over a two-day span. Which is pretty quick for me considering the reading slump I have been in.
The main character is Bat and she is a forgotten Egyptian goddess. Bat has started to see visions and decides to go on vacation to Ireland. But what Bat doesn’t realize is that she is in for quite a few surprises along the way. This is what I really enjoyed because you had no idea what was going to happen next.
She manages to find a place to say but her landlords the O’Loinsigh brothers aren’t very welcoming to her and they can’t decide if they should allow her to stay or not. Then something happens and of course, Bat has to stay to figure out what is going on. This is where I was happy I had the next book to read so I could continue on with it.
Since this is a series that is currently available to read now I won’t get to much into the other books but I will say that it basically picks up from where the previous ones left off.
In the second book, Bat is adjusting to her new home working in a bar, meeting new people and making friends and having fun. There is only one thing that she wishes would happen and that’s to have a better relationship with the O’Loinsigh brothers. They are very distant from her and she has no idea why she doesn’t have long to think about it because enter a mad woman who is out for revenge.
This was also another one that had me sitting on the edge of my seat because you never knew what would come up next and thankful I had the next and final book in the series to continue.
The final book in the series can I just say WOW? What an ending but I could totally see another book to continue it. Everything comes together to wrap it up. This was another one that had me on the edge of my seat reading to find out what would happen next.
This series is definitely like riding a roller coaster and I am so happy that I got to try something new that didn’t disappoint. I need more books like this.
